Felicity Jones will star in a movie version of classic ballet Swan Lake and a lot of studios are interested.

Variety reports that A Bigger Splash's Luca Guadagnino will direct from a script by Kristina Lauren Anderson. The movie won't feature any ballet, but instead use the story for a studio "tentpole" release.

A "tentpole" is a movie that supports the finances of a movie studio as they're expected to rake in the millions at the box office.

Several major studios, including Paramount and Universal, are said to be interested in the project, which went on the market before Independence Day weekend. Mandeville Films, who worked on this year's Beauty and the Beast, is producing.

If you've never seen Swan Lake, it follows the princess Odette, who is turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse, and we'd assume Jones will be playing Odette.
